Abstract
A system for controlling effects performed on an image includes a digital camera having a display that displays the image. A masking tool positions a graphical representation on the display, the graphical representation defining a portion of the image that is altered when the effects are subsequently applied to the image. The masking tool is positioned over a masked portion of an image and an effect is applied. The effect is applied on the image outside the masked portion.
